If you really don't like this, at least use --. (Note: in german, there is no ---, only -- is used, but /with/ spaces). Also, " is never used as well. Rather use `` and '' instead.

Denis and Ross,
Thanks to for the time spent reading the guide, and write down the corrections,
I've already added most of them. But as neither Steffen or /me are
native english
speakers (even we do our best) I prefered to send you the modifications so you
can check them before pushing.

btw, I've also commented the \usepackage{html}, so there's no
dependency of latex2html by default, if someone wants to generate
html, then just comment it out. This way just by issuing ``make'' on
doc/ you only need to have latex installed.
Because i think it was bad that not having latex2html mean that you
couldn't read the guide in any of the formats.

Regards,
PD: btw, hope i've not included more erratas ... (with the ``corrections'')
